Rod Neep Silvertip extra dense LE 2014 #07/12 Shasoc and Pino Silvestre Extra Gentle Shaving Soap:
Rod Neep Silvertip extra dense LE 2014 #07/12 Shasoc with Pino Silvestre Extra Gentle Shaving Soap is nice and fresh foam. That brush is a foam-eater, so keep loading and beating nicely. In the end a nice touch in the bowl. Tastes like pine, not exaggerated, but good enough.
Blade and razor:
The Gem Personna Pfte used for the 6th x.
About the Gem Personna Pfte I can only say, that it stays as good as it should be. The combi Gem 1912 with the Gem Personna Pfte is a very basic in this series of razors. A Gem that shaves super, but without any fuss. If you ever want to try such a razor, this is the perfect start!
Result: BBS.
Finally: nice finishing with the Pino Silvestre Aftershave Vapo Naturel, Pino Silvestre Moisturizing & Lenitiv After Shave Balm and Loris E-108 Hugo. The Hugo has a slightly different smell, but still very nice after the Pino.

The Trumper rose is in a similar pot as the TOBS but the cream is almost the same in substance and smell as DR Harris.
So they should have borrowed a pot of DR Harris.

Maseto Silvertip Badger Shaving Brush - Memphis and BdF Distinto:
Maseto Silvertip Badger Shaving Brush - Memphis with BdF Distinto is a successful duo. That silvertip is a best price-performance ratio, so firm enough and yet nice and soft. Loads the soft BDF soap well and forms a nice lather in the spacious bowl that fits perfectly with this long brush. Excellent.
Blade and razor:
The Gem Personna Pfte used for the 7th x.
The Gem Personna Pfte did it like new again. Those blades have an excellent tool life as well! On to the 10x. The Ever-Ready Ambassador is a nice weighty version in this kind of SE razors. The Gem Personna Pfte is effective and yet forgiving in this razor. It's the kind of razor that you can get the most out of.
Result: BBS.
Finally: Warm spicy finishing goes well with the Eyüp Sabri Tuncer Tütün, Naturlife Krem Vazelin Argan Ve Aloevera Özlü and Loris E-164 Laura Biagiotti Roma. This Loris is such a nice warm spicy edp with also some woodiness. My wife likes it at least as much as I do....

Prep
M-keramiek scuttle
Omega barber style brush
Arko sensitiv shaving cream
Pradat brun frameback damast blade
Vdh alum
Dickinsons witch hazel
Tüff sensitiv, arko sensitiv balm
I didn't shave yesterday so the stubble was a little bit longer.
The Omega brush is new. I test lathered and shampood it a bit to get the stench out of it. First impression it is going to be a nice brush. It has less backbone then the proraso boar brush, but it has a nice feel and lathers great.
The finishing stone for this blade was a thurungian. For the leresche last tuesday it was an ozuku. I think the thuringer is the way to go it feels less bity/harsh for a damast blade.
Nevertheless I got two cuts. Thankfully cuts with a sharp razor will heal quickly.

The Mama Bears used for the first time and what a wonderfully fresh apple scent this soap has. The memory of biting into such a delicious hard green Granny Smith comes back.
